**EDIT** I'm gonna post clearer pictures in the replies.
I saw this bug on me as I was in bed. It's 1/4 cm long, has red beady eyes, antennae as long as its legs, rear legs of a cricket, and color of a moth. It doesn't chirp nor fly. I do often see moths in my room but they are half an inch big and I can clearly make out the wings. A week ago I got this rash or bug bites on my arm but I've never seen these bites before they're tiny and so many. I thought it was a weird breakout of acne or something. When I saw the bug I looked at my mattress and found this 2mm big larva crawling. I know the pictures are blurry but I tried my best.

CLOSED: Cricket moth bed bug thing?
The insect in the first image is a larva of a carpet beetle (family Dermestide). Although there are reports of people having an allergic reaction to the hairs of these larvae, your arm image looks more like folliculitis - see https://www.merckmanuals.com/en-ca/professional/dermatologic-disorders/bacterial-skin-infections/folliculitis - You may want to consult a dermatologist for a diagnosis.
The other insect is a plant bug in the family Miridae; an accidental harmless intruder,
Wow thanks so much for the info!
